Liam_D Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Mine kicks out a poof of black smoke from time to time ive always put that down to over fuelling as i know its running slightly rich. Mine also smoke quite a bit when at a standstill but thats only like condensation never smokes when driving though. If you need any help regarding turbos mate give me a shout!

lukEp Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Common fault engine to ecu water temp sensor, telling the ecu the engine still cold and making it over fuel. Green 2 wire sensor on the thermostat housing. Cost about £10 @ local motor factors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo Goose Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I'm pretty sure ALL jap cars condensate in the exhausts as they are always puffin out white smoke.As for your colour of smoke, it looks like your burning some oil somewhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Most probably the turbo seals I'm hoping ill change that sensor aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
